Why You Should Get Yourself a Running Buddy


Image result for running buddy

 Its nice to get in a decent run by yourself but when it comes to running with other people, it makes a huge difference. Whether it be one person or a whole group its just nice to have company while you are running.

 Having a running buddy could give you someone to talk to. You might think that talking is tiring and you won't be able to breath as well but its not as bad as it seems. If anything, they are a distraction from the pain you're in and take your mind off the fact that you are even running. In addition, its nice to catch up with people and just have a decent conversation with someone. In a group, you can play games or just talk to everyone which can be fun.

Running with people can help push you. If you have someone who is in the same pace range as you, its nice to work with each other and keep up the pace. This can help you work harder without you even knowing. If they can do it, so can you.

Of course, its safer too. Safety is important and you've all heard of bad incidents with runners getting kidnapped or hurt. Two people is already so much better than one. You'll also have a less chance of getting lost and if you do, at least you have someone. You also have more eyes to watch out for things.

Lastly, having a running buddy can help keep you committed and motivated. It is easier to get in a routine as you'd have people to help hold accountable for one another. It gives running itself more meaning and more purpose. Just knowing that you and other people are working together in a way to be fit and have fun is helpful to keep you on the right track. 

 If you have any goals for running and have been training by yourself, try and reach out to people. Someone you know might be in the same boat as well. They could will help push you and keep you company and vice versa. A good support system can go a long way. Or even just getting some steam out with a friend and catching up works just as well.

Which Terrain to Train? Best Surfaces to Run On

Different terrains have different impacts and stresses to your body. The softer it is, the less shock is being sent up through your legs. But you don't want it too soft either.  Beyond the usual asphalt and concrete surface, try these terrains to help prevent injury and strengthen more areas in your feet and ankles.

About Me

Hi my name is Rachael Temple and welcome to my running blog! I love running and have been doing it for 11 years and plan on doing it for as long as I can. It all started when I would play tag with my neighbors and was pretty quick which led to me dusting everyone in the mile in gym class. When 5th grade came around, I did girls on the run and then joined the running club. Once 6th grade started, I officially joined track and have been training and competing in cross country and track every year since.  Currently, I am a North Central College student where I am on the cross country team and in Digital Media Writing class, so this will be where the two worlds collide.  Everything about this sport has had a large impact on my life and I am thankful for all the opportunities it has brought to me.
